Stanford guard Chasson Randle didn’t think he did anything special in the first half of Wednesday’s Pacific-12 Conference tournament game.

Randle scored 27 first-half points – most in a half in Pac-12 tournament history – and finished with 30 points as he led Stanford to an 85-65 win over Arizona State on Wednesday at Staples Center.

Not bad for a freshman.

“I was just really focused in and trying tocomplete plays like Coach (Johnny Dawkins) said,” Randle said. “My teammates found me in the right spots. I didn’t know what was going on. I was just playing basketball.”

If only it were always that easy.

Randle made 7 of 11 shots and added three steals to for the Cardinal (21-10), which cruised to a 20-point lead by halftime and never lost control.

Dawkins was even able to rest some players in the second half for today’s quarterfinal meeting against Cal. The Cardinal beat the Bears 75-70 Sunday in Palo Alto.

“They’re our rivals, so we can expect it to be a physical and chippy game (today),” said Stanford guard Aaron Bright, who came off the bench to score 11 points.

Arizona State (10-21) was overmatched from the tip.

The Sun Devils won just 10 games this year, so they’re out of the NCAA Tournament picture. Every team – except the Pac-12 tournament champion – might be on the outside looking in come Sunday’s selection show.

“As you listen to the pundits, whether they’re accurate or not, from what I saw (Wednesday), only this tournament champion is a lock,” Arizona State coach Herb Sendek said.

“Over the span of time, it’s an anomaly. If you look at the history, those occurrences are few and far between.”

Oregon State 69, Washington State 64: Guard Devon Collier scored a game-high 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting to lead the Beavers (18-13) to a come-from-behind win.

Colorado had just six assists and made just 15 of 43 shots (34.9 percent).

“It was kind of an ugly win, but we’ll take it and move on,” Colorado coach Tad Boyle said.

Colorado guard Spencer Dinwiddie – a Taft High product – didn’t take a shot in the first half and played 14 minutes. He finished with 10 points.

Colorado had the best crowd of the evening. Athletic director Mike Bohn picked up the tab for 50 students to go on the chartered flight to cheer on the Buffaloes.

With Colorado clinging to a two-point lead late, Carlon Brown made a jump shot to give the Buffaloes a 39-35 lead with 5:19 left. Colorado outscored Utah 14-6 the rest of the way.

The Buffaloes play No. 3 seed Oregon in the late game tonight.

“We’re looking forward to an opportunity to play (the Ducks) again,” Boyle said. “They’re a good program with good players. I hope we got all of our missed shots and bad stuff out of the way. We’ll have to play better (today).”
